Dear LOR user,

Thank you for being a big part of this community. To better support the initiatives around open educational resources in the state of Michigan, all resources on the Michigan Virtual Learning Object Repository (LOR) are being moved to #GoOpen Michigan (link is external) on September 30th, 2018. During the transition, our LOR will be moved to an archived state, not allowing new user registration or new content to be added. An email with more details was sent to registered users of the LOR in September. To make use of the great resources on the platform, we encourage you to create an account and add your own new resources to the #GoOpen Michigan platform (link is external).

ICT Presentation Authoring Using Master Slides (MS PowerPoint)

Description: 

This blended learning unit outline on Presentation Authoring (MS PowerPoint Master Slides Usage) is one unit out of eight units in my 18 month ICT course. Students switch between learning lessons online and then creating a presentation using learned skills and an assigned lesson. In this unit, students will learn about designing a presentation using master slides. They will be introduced to a variety of skills, including text on slides, images, sound, video clips, importing charts from other software and much more. I have not made my own blended video lessons yet, but I am using great videos produced by other teachers at this time.  This unit uses Google Classroom for giving and receiving student work.

Learning Targets: 
Students can identify the need for consistency of presentation using Master Slide to set font styles, heading styles, and color schemes placing objects appropriately
Students can insert a new slide, when required, selecting the appropriate slide type for the purpose
Students can place text on the slides including: headings, subheadings, bulleted lists where appropriate
Students can apply consistent styles using available software tools & objects like: place appropriate images, sound, call out boxes, symbols, import charts from spreadsheet, etc.

Students can create consistent transitions between pages, animation facilities on text and images. Students can print presentation notes, and audience handout slides

What was your experience, both successes and challenges, using this lesson object with your students?

Some students will rush or skip steps and material needed to complete assignment 100% and are lost throughout the unit due to skipping videos. Students have commented that they like the freedom to review the videos and notes as often as they need and have access to the resources while working on the practical assignment. 

It will be important to emphasize that the videos can be paused and re-watched.
